Vintage 20th Century Papua New Guinea pottery jug Sepik River Sawos
$75
Offered for sale is this vintage 20th Century Papua New Guinea hand-decorated glazed earthenware art pottery jug, most likely dating from the 1980-90’s. Engraved ‘Abaka KTU PNG’. Commencing in the 1960-70’s, Papua New Guinea’s modern pottery movement is yet to be fully appreciated in terms of its social, cultural and collectable significance – so the time to buy good pieces like this is now!
The powerful design features repeated incised abstract anthropomorphic and floral patterns (carved after applying the glaze and before firing). These forms potentially link the potter to the Sawos People of the middle Sepik region. A ‘modern’ touch is reflected in the light application of pale sea-gray drip overglaze to the neck of the vessel.
A satisfying and enjoyable individual piece of modern art pottery.
Measures 20cm (h) x 13.5cm (diameter, at widest) approximately.
Please check the pictures as they form part of the item description.
